Stop-action clay animation.
Based on Dav Pilkey's "Dragon" series of children's books.
Budgeted at an estimated $5 million Canadian.
The first animated series co-produced by Canada, Germany and South Korea.
The series was made available in 26 12-minute episodes, 104 two-and-a-half-minute episodes and 26 seven-minute episodes, allowing flexible and tailor-made programming for any TV station.
Set in an imaginary animal world where ostriches work in stores, mice deliver the mail and beavers snore, "Dragon" playfully explores themes that are universally identifiable to pre-school children, including wanting a friend, being afraid of the dark, and trying not to eat too much candy and ice cream.
The series captures the endearing and often insightful life stories of lovable hero Dragon. In his adventures, Dragon always tries to do good and be fair even through the worst circumstances. He always succeeds to find a solution, often in surprisingly touching ways.

Former Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, like many seasoned election veterans, likes to help the young aspiring politicians who, in years past, helped him get where he wanted to go.
That's what Strickland was doing in Cincinnati Friday, at the Southern Baptist Church and elsewhere, where he joined Greg Landsman, a fellow Democrat, as Landsman officially launched his run for a seat on Cincinnati City Council.
City of Cincinnati employees will observe Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday. That means garbage and recycling collection will be delayed by one day all week.Monday's pickup will be Tuesday, Tuesday's pickup will be Wednesday, and so forth.
A construction zone will be set up on Pete Rose Way from Broadway to Johnny Bench Way so workers can safely remove the steel structure of the pedestrian bridge over Pete Rose Way to the Arena/Ball Park Plaza.It's a continuation of the work that removed concrete decking from the bridge this week.Removal of the steel structure starts Monday, January 21, and lasts until the following Sunday, February 3, unless it's completed sooner. The new pedestrian bridge, part of The Banks project, is scheduled to open in October.
Hamilton's popular IceFest is back this weekend. The two-day festival features more than 80 ice sculptures scattered throughout downtown.
Chairman Tim Naab says this year's theme is "landmarks of the world".
Cincinnati police say homicides and violent crime were down overall last year compared to 2011.
Chief James Craig wants to see that trend continue this year.
"We've set for 2013 a very modest overall crime reduction goal of five percent. We had a five percent goal at the beginning of 2012 and we certainly exceeded that, ending the year with a ten percent reduction in overall crime," he says.
Over-the-Rhine, Avondale and Winton Hills saw the biggest drops in homicides. Walnut Hills and East Price Hill both saw increases.

Everyone knows that advertising during the Super Bowl is an absurdly expensive proposition – a risk/reward gambit of epic proportions. After all, the $2 million that you spend on 30 measly seconds of airwave while one team's coach decides whether or not to go for it on fourth and inches can be the stuff of marketing legend – or just forgotten completely.
Newcomer's HomeAway – who will be launching a Griswold-themed campaign during Super Bowl XLIV – have given AdAge an inside glimpse at what this undertaking entails for first-time Super Bowl marketers that don't want to fumble badly on the national stage. It's a fascinating look at the research, planning and finger-crossing that go along with such a costly endeavor.

|My GWL11 Top loading washer has had nothing but problems! The current problem right now is that it won't stop beeping at me near the end of it's run (near the rinse and spin cycle). I have ran it about 20 times and it stops at the same spot each time. I did try and run it with just a few clothes and it still did the same thing, however when i took everything out it worked. I have unplugged it and plugged it back in, but that didn't reset it. Is there a way for me to reset it or get it back on balance if that is the problem? no one in my town services fisher and paykel so to have a tech come here would be about $200 for driving and diagnosis alone. I need help!!!
Follow-Up Postings:
|If there's a malfunction, the beeping should be accompanied by a "Fault Code" which is indicated by a specific pattern of lights on the panel, different than what normally appears during operation. Next time it happens, make a note of EXACTLY what is lit on the panel and post the information here.
There're also some diagnostic that can be performed to test various components by accessing hidden functions on the control panel. After you provide details on the fault code, I can direct you on doing some diagnostics to perhaps narrow-down what may be the problem.
- Posted by jessicacbrandt (My Page) on Thu, Mar 6, 08 at 19:52
|alright, i'll let you know... right now though, it's not lit up at all, just has the regular light on with the normal choices for the regular cycle, however it is stopped at the final rinse cycle still and just is trying to run, but nothing is happenning. So the motor is running, but it's not moving at all or anything. i tried unplugging it, but that didn't work and now i have no idea what to do! if you have any ideas for me to try to make it at least run so i can get it to beep to get you a code, i'm all ears. it's because i put a few towels in there i think... the machine can't handle any weight at all! please let me know if there's anything i can do- thanks!!!
- Posted by jessicacbrandt (My Page) on Thu, Mar 6, 08 at 23:47
|okay so we got it to beep again, but there's no special lights flashing, giving me a "fault code". so here's what lights are on... there are 8 lights up top... since the cycle always stops at the rinse, the first five (from the left) aren't lit up at all, but the first rinse cycle light (6th from left) is flashing orange, then the light to the right of it is orange and then the spin light (final light) is red. Down below the lights are just normal for what i had for my cycle. The regular light is green ( i had it on regular cycle). The wash temp light is on warm and orange, the water level light is on auto and red, and the spin speed light is on fast and green. Please help me if you can- i desperately need this to get fixed!!! thanks!
|If you hear a motor running and nothing obvious is happening inside the machine, then the pump is what's running.
The beeps you hear is a series of 5 tones repeated every few seconds? None of the panel lights are flashing while the beeps are occurring? If not, then the machine is not generating a User Fault. There may instead be a Machine Fault code stored in the memory.
Follow these steps to get into diagnostics, report what you find:
1. With the power off, press and hold Wash Temp Down, then press Power at the same. The machine should beep twice and panel lights should come on. Release the buttons.
2. Press Spin Speed Up three times. The Slow and Hold lights should be on. If you miss it, use the Spin Speed Up and Down buttons to get the right lights on. The Wash Progress lights then indicate what is the last fault code via binary numbers. Add up the numbers per each light that is on to get the fault code. The numbers from left to right are 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1. For example if the 3rd, 4th, and last lights are on, the code is 32 + 16 + 1 = 49.
3. Press the Power button to exit diagnostic mode when done.
Report back here what is the fault code, either by calculating the number yourself, or by stating which Wash Progress lights are on from left to right.
- Posted by jessicacbrandt (My Page) on Sat, Mar 8, 08 at 20:59
|alright, so we got back home and did what you said and these lights were on... 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th... so 64 + 32 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 109. so that's our total number that's lighting up... you sound like you know what you are doing and we are so grateful! what's next? thanks again!
|There is no Fault Code 109 listed in the service literature I have. Can you check the code/lights again? Other console lights may be on during diagnostics, but only the eight wash progress lights indicate the fault code. Make sure the Slow and Hold spin speed lights are on (other spin light combinations display other kinds of info on the wash lights). Also, the last recorded fault may clear itself after eight consecutive cycles if no more faults occur. If you can do so, it'd be helpful to see a picture of the console showing the fault code diagnostic. If you don't know how to post a picture, that's OK.
- Posted by jessicacbrandt (My Page) on Sun, Mar 9, 08 at 0:11
|so we re-did it and it's still coming up to 109 by our calculations. we took a picture of it and have it on our computer, but there's no upload photo button and we couldn't copy and paste. is there an e-mail address we can e-mail it to? or a place on the web i can post pictures? or if you can give me instructions on how to put a photo on here i'd love to do it. thanks!

|I have the same problem as you had in this post string. Unfortunatley the problem wasn't solved in this string but looks like you worked with dadoes over e-mail. Can you please help me by providing the solution to your problem?
- Posted by Frank(email@example.com) onThu, May 20, 10 at 7:31
|Same problem here. Is this problem repairable? If so, how costly would it be?
|I had the same problem. Washer would quit and beep after wash cycle. Performed the dianostic and code showed pump blocked. Took hose off diverter valve and found $.20 inside. Two dimes. Removed coins, works fine.
|Hi, I am having issues with my washing machine too. I was wondering if you could help me as well. I got the error code as per you instructions. I believe the code is 136 ( 128 + 8). Could you please tell me what the code means and what I can do to fix it? I really appreciate any help you can offer.
|I have a fault code 49 - do you know what this means?
|Fault 49 is bad cold water valve, or (less likely) a shorted wire on it, or (less likely) bad controller board.
You probably don't remember my conversing with you in years past but I was just checking the laundry thread for fun and saw this thread and wondered if you were still around and still active here - I see that you are.
I just wanted to take a moment to wish you the very best.
I hope that the years have been good to you.
I take it that you still have your F&P and that it has served you well.
Again, all the very best!
Take care
|I have a FandP GWL11 washer that has been very good up till about a month ago, it gets stuck in the rinse mode and i used to just go in and press the arrow button and it would proceed with its cycle, now it will do nothing when it gets to this cycle. I have no idea what to do now, can someone please help me.
|Stuck in the rinse mode in what way? No operational sounds, nothing happening? No beeping? No lights flashing?
Now it will do nothing when it gets to this cycle .... so that means when a load of clothes is started running, it does fill, recirculates for the Eco Active wash phase, fills rest of the way, and agitates? The lid on GWL11 does not lock except during spin, so you need to *watch* what it does (Normal fabric selection, manually select Medium water level) until the rinse phase when action comes to a halt.
What it *should* do is:
1) Fill briefly while the basket rotates at 25 RPM
2) The pump turns on and recirculates water, showering into the basket from top right/rear of the tub cover (this a separate water source from the fill flume that's mounted at center/rear under the top deck) with 25 RPM basket rotation. There may be a another very brief fill to top-off the minimal water level. Recirculation runs for about 5 mins.
3) Recirculation stops (no draining), and it fills rest of the way (rotating at 25 RPM) to the medium level, then agitates for approximately 9 minutes.
4) (Rinse Phase) Drain the water, then lock the lid for spin. Close the lid when the water is almost fully drained so it can lock.
Report back here the results of what functions it does or does not perform, and what lights are either lit steady or flashing when it gets to the (failing) rinse period.
|Greetings TimIndy! :-)
|Okay, here is another Fisher and Paykel GWL11 question. My clothes fill to wash and then the washer starts beeping. I have to power it off, power it back on and it will wash my clothes fine. The lights that come on when it is beeping are #3, #4, #7, #8. Any recommendations?
|That's an unusual situation. This error probably should prevent the machine from working at all, so seems odd that it goes on through the load when power-cycled after the fault occurs.

|Hi there
i have flashing orange lights on Number 1 and 7.
What does this mean? thanks.
|Best to confirm the recorded Fault Code via Diagnostic Mode as outlined above in the 5th post, dated 3/7/2008. A fault flashed during operation may be a User Fault which doesn't always reflect what the controller board recorded as a Machine Fault.

|My machine will not start unless I use the delay start. Does any one know why? or how to fix it? I tried to get the lights to show a code, but it will not beep twice. The lights just keep blinking back and fourth. Please help Thanks
|Hi how is everyone, we obviously have a F&P GWL11. The issue we have is that it will not stop washing the clothes. It will go through the cycle no issue, but then it will restart and go through the same full wash/ spin etc again. Yes we have really super clean clothes, but we need to find out why it won't stop. Thank you in advance
|There is a diagnostic function to make the machine run continuously. Perhaps it has been accidentally enabled.
- Access Diagnostic Mode -- With Power off, press and hold Wash Temp Down, then press Power at the same time. Two beeps and the panel turns on.
- If the *medium* water level indicator is lit, recycle is enabled. Press Water Level Up to disable it (the medium light turns off).
- Press Power to exit.
If the machine is recycling and the function is not enabled, then some other problem is the cause.
|I have a GWL 15 user the wash Temp to get code
last two light are lit - code is 3 2+1
any suggestions

|Please HELP! I have a Fisher Paykel GWL11 that I purchased new and have loved until this problem started. It will start fine then will at what seems to be random places in the wash cycle stop and start beeping until unplugged. At times it will complete the entire wash cycle after being plugged back in after just a few minutes and at other times I will have to just keep unplugging it and retrying it at random intervals for a few days before it finishes.
Thanks to the amazing Dadoes I have tried a number of things. The error code it throws is #50 which indicates a bad cold water inlet valve. After doing the on-board test to see if the cold and hot valves worked (the cold didn't) I purchased a new cold valve but it didn't fix the problem and still throws a code #50. The new valve does work via the on-board test. I have checked the pump and diverter valve and both seem to be clean of debris and test out fine.
Last night I did a light load using the Perm Press setting just to see if it would work since it doesn't recirculate water. I went through the compete wash without a hitch! Happy that I could now at least wash my growing pile of dirty laundry I put in a second load and it started filling and THREW THE ERROR CODE #50 AGAIN! Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
|Fault 50 is bad hot valve.
Bad cold valve is Fault 49.
Check the fault code again, confirm you're reading it correctly.
|I need assistance with my fisher and pakel washing machine. While filling it begins to drain and then begins to fill again. Then after filling some it then begins to beep and I got a code of 51. Does anybody know what 51 is?
|Fault 51 = diverter valve fault.
All cycles except Perm Press begin with an Eco Active wash function. The machine fills with a small amount of water to saturate the clothes and dissolve the detergent. The concentrated solution is showered over the clothes for approx 3 minutes via the pump. The diverter valve controls whether the pumped water goes out the drain hose (diverter off) or to the recirculation port at top right/rear of the tub.
The water will drain instead of recirculating into the tub if the diverter isn't working properly, which is Fault 51. The controller board triggers the fault via the water level sensor detecting that the water level dropped when it shouldn't.
|Hi, my fisher and paykel is a model Gw611. Lights 3,4,5 show error code with continuous beeping. Adding 56.
Cleaned agitator and found bra underwire.
Is there something else I could try? It just stops at any point and beeps.
|We are having the same problems. We did the light test and it added up to 43. Light showed up were 188.8.131.52. = 32+8+2+1=43. What does this mean. Thanks.
Code 56 is related to the inner drum. The drum floats upward approx 1/4" when the tub fills with water, via air caught in a chamber in the base. It must float to disengage from the drive cog so the agitator can oscillate for washing. It "un"floats when the water drains, to re-engage the drive cog for spinning. The controller board runs tests (by pulsing the drive motor) during fill and drain periods to check if the drum has properly floated or settled for the next required operation. Code 56 means that the controller couldn't get a valid drum status.
The bra underwire caught beneath the agitator likely is at least part of the cause.
There may be more debris accumulated on the drive cog, preventing the drum from floating and/or engaging.
Another possible cause is a malfunctioning Rotor Position Sensor (RPS), which is a component in the main drive motor for sensing the rotational movement.
Or a bad motor controller board.
Fault 43 is related to the off-balance switch. The switch is either stuck "on" or the wires to it are disconnected or broken.
The switch is in the control console. A lever protrudes down into the right rear corner of the cabinet, which the tub bumps to trigger the switch during an off-balance spin condition. Pushing the tub back and forth toward the right rear should trigger and release the switch with a faint click.
Check that the lever can move, isn't jammed.
Check that the microswitch in the console isn't stuck or corroded from moisture.
|Thank you so much, it worked. The switch was stuck "on". My husband said, much appreciated. Keep up the good work. Thanks
|Wow, a lot of threads. Ok so another gw711 f&p this one fills all the way to the brim no matter what water setting, the agitator will hunt (turn left and right about 1/8th of a turn before throwing code 39. I've checked the hose and blown through it to clear it as directed but still has the same issue. I haven't got the diagnostic sheet to advise what buttons test what since it's removed from the units in Australia. Hope someone can help.
|39 is Pressure Tube Fault.
Pressure tube kinked or clogged. Could also be a clog/obstruction at the air dome on side of the tub. If none of these are the cause, then a bad pressure sensor on the control board, in which case the board must be replaced.
Same diagnostics apply to your GW711 as to GWL11 ... both are Phase 6 machines.
|How do you open the air dome? Two metal clips but does it unscrew?
Thank you as well.
|Does not unscrew. Pull the plug out from the bottom. Note that there's a small hole into the air dome through the wall of the tub, make sure it's not clogged.
I have a 3rd gen Fisher washer. It powers up with all the lights. I can change options, etc. it won't start however. I push the start button, it just beeps. It happened a year ago but resolved itself after I tried to get a diagnostic code and test functions but could not fix it. I left it alone for a week and it worked one day again. Not this time though.
We also have a Fisher and Paykel Ecosmart top load washer, it is a little over 5 years old and we never had a problem with it until about a year and a half ago when the motherboard went bad. At that time we put over $500 into it. It again worked fine until a week ago. Now the "too much suds" error keeps happening in the rinse cycle. We were using the Tide Pods, sometimes my husband would throw two in for his really dirty work clothes and we thought that might be the problem so yesterday he emptied the washer, cleaned out all of the suds and the washer is still producing a crazy amount of foam even with using barely any (HE) detergent.. The foam is just coming out of nowhere! We are so frustrated and really don't want to put MORE money into this thing but we need to figure out what's going on! Please help!

|Washing machines don't spontaneously of themselves generate suds. Residue left in the machine or the clothes from laundry products used would be the cause.
Your choice how to clear the residue -- run "machine clean" cycles (your instruction manual should have details) with no clothes or detergent until it's gone ... liquid fabric softener is effective (doesn't take much) at killing oversudsing.
I tried Tide Pods, do not like them. Didn't have oversudsing but the scent is too strong and they don't clean as well as Tide HE Powder.
$500 is a large cost for a controller board, must have been other related problems such as a bad pump, plus service tech charges.
3rd generation (Phase 3?) covers models GW503, GW603, GW703, GWC03, GWL03, GWM03, KE993, LW035, MW053, and THL03. Is that what you have? Those date to the late 1990s.
The beep is a single sound? Or it gives a musical series of tones?
Try disconnecting the power cord for 10 minutes to reset the electronics.

|Help. I have a GWL11-us. When the washer gets to the rinse cycle, it starts to spin, goes to medium speed and when it should hit hi speed it stops, sprays waster and acts like it is out of balance. It will not get past this point. I stop the machine and put it to finial spin and it spins fine. I replaced the control board and still does the same thing.
... sprays waster and acts like it is out of balance.Please clarify what that means.
Normal out-of-balance response is stop spinning and slowly ramp up again, twice (three spin attempts), then stop and beep for help. No water spray is involved, unless the automatic off-balance recovery feature is enabled in which case after three failed attempts it refills and agitates to redistribute the load, then three more spin attempts, then beep for help.
What you're describing sounds like the normal water-saving shower rinse function (on all cycles except Perm Press) with Softener Rinse not selected -- ramp up to medium spin, slow to 25 RPM and spray water to saturate the clothes, ramp up to medium to extract the detergent, repeat one or two more times, then go on to the final spin. This is correct behavior when Softener Rinse is *not* selected, perhaps you're just recently aware of it?
Selecting Softener Rinse changes it to a traditional agitated rinse. The Perm Press cycle also runs an agitated rinse, whether Softener Rinse is selected or not.

The Winners Circle
Nebraska's first state technician competition is a roaring success
In just under a year, members of the Nebraska SuperTech steering committee created, planned and executed a statewide SuperTech competition. Take a second to think about that: In under a year, the committee went from absolutely nothing to hosting a statewide event with 30 technicians competing.
As soon as you have the opportunity to attend a SuperTech competition or speak with a technician who has competed, you'll understand what it's all about: we are doing this because of our technicians. Instead of focusing on the day-to-day work technicians do, we are finally taking a moment to showcase their talents!
Shortly after the Nebraska competition had ended, I asked Jamie Morse, a technician from Bosselman Carriers, if he had enjoyed himself. He replied that he did. I asked him if he had learned anything, and he replied even more emphatically that he had. And isn't that what it's all about--creating an event to recognize our techs while also giving them the opportunity to learn something in a new environment and enjoy themselves? I would even go so far as to say SuperTech may help motivate your seasoned technicians to learn something new. What better recruiting and retention tool is there?
My challenge to Fleet Maintenance magazine readers everywhere is this: seriously consider creating a SuperTech event in your state, or even within your own company. I am particularly proud of my own company, Omaha Truck Center. Not only did we participate in SuperTech, we also created our own competition, UltimateTech. We had 111 technicians compete, and sent the best of the best to Nebraska SuperTech. I recently asked our company president, Trey Mytty, why he was so willing to get involved. Trey told me that it was because the technicians are a very important part of our company; they are the ones who keep our customers' trucks rolling down the road. Trey could see the recruitment, retention and training value within the competition.
OK, you've decided, you're ready to commit to SuperTech. What next?
Look around you, and find some TMC members who are willing to help. The team in Nebraska simply could not have conducted a skills competition without fellow TMC members. We would like to single out a few of them for special recognition: consultant Darrell "Uncle Darrell" Hicks, Bonne Karim from USPS, Roger Maye from ConMet, and Carl Tapp of P.A.M. Transport. These four went above and beyond the call of duty, and endured many phone calls and conversations with members of our steering committee.
There is also a fantastic publication produced by TMC called "How to Host a Technician Skills Competition." Be sure to read that at least five times before you start up your own competition. I'm only half kidding! If all else fails, feel free to give me a call. I promise to "pay it forward" and give you a few hours by phone or e-mail like Bonne, Carl, Darrell and Roger gave me.
Another great way to get involved in SuperTech is to attend the competition. It sounds obvious, but it's true. Meet people involved with SuperTech. Ask them how they got competitions started. Observe. Watch the technicians compete. Remember that people at TMC meetings want you to succeed. They want you to come back a year later with a successful competition under your belt so you, too, will become a SuperTech fanatic like I have become.
I would be remiss if I made it sound like planning the competition was a cake walk. It certainly wasn't. But the competition was a lot easier to plan because of the resources already in place. To those of you contemplating starting up your own technician competition, remember that you have so many options in place to help you get started. I'm passing on the torch, here, to another state that's willing to take up the charge.
Here are a few comments from Larry Johnson, president of the Nebraska Trucking Association, which helped sponsor the event: "We are amazed at the amount of support we received from technicians, sponsors and judges for the inaugural Nebraska SuperTech competition. We know it is the first of many more competitions to come."

Charlie Bolden, the head of NASA, visited Germany on his way to Israel and came to Stuttgart for a personal talk with Thomas Reiter and me. We were able to exchange opinions and ideas concerning various space subjects. As with previous meetings, one could say that this meeting took place in a personal and friendly atmosphere. In fact the relationship between NASA and DLR is a very trusting one, which encourages extensive cooperation. Like his predecessor Mike Griffin, Charlie is a 'convinced' spaceflight supporter, in his case with the personal experience of an astronaut. The time that was planned for our meeting was not sufficient to clarify all interesting subjects in adequate profoundness, but it was obvious that the United States are really ready to give Germany and Europe the position of a full partner in the future. In addition we will intensify our efforts in joint aeronautical research.
NASA is an ideal international partner for DLR as we have much in common, for example the existence of research and space agency activities under one roof. The existing similarity ends when one considers the different financial resources available to both institutions.
Looking back on the meeting and its atmosphere one can say that it was a good day for German-American cooperation in space and aeronautics.

Farmers, Indigenous people and rural communities around the world celebrated the International Day for Biological Diversity last week. But casting a long shadow was the news that big funders and new NGOs are teaming up with the pesticide-biotech giant, Syngenta, in a renewed effort to push genetically engineered rice forward in Bangladesh and the Philippines.
Nicknamed "golden rice," this untested, highly controversial GE crop threatens biodiversity across the region and risks bringing economic and ecological disaster to Asia's farms.
My mom hackles are up. GE toxins are turning up in umbilical cordblood and the blood of pregnant women, according to a study by independent Canadian doctors. And what might be the effect of these toxins on developing fetuses? No one really knows. Let me tell you why this is big news.
All this time, Monsanto has based its assertion that crops engineered to contain the bacterial toxin, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), are harmless on an assumption that the toxin breaks down in the digestive system and so never enters the rest of the body. Regulators have been repeating this to us for over a generation. Now it turns out that the Bt toxin is not only surviving in our guts, but is making its way on into our bloodstreams — and if we're pregnant, into the soon-to-be-babies in our bellies.
Since 2008, Brazil has held the dubious distinction of spending more on pesticides than anyplace else on earth. But what has the country's farmers, public health professionals and environmental advocates even more worried is Brazil's corresponding rise in planting of genetically engineered (GE) crops, engineered to tolerate mega-doses of herbicides like glyphosate (Roundup). And these crops are driving emergence of herbicide-tolerant "superweeds".
Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shocked the American public with its hasty approval of three highly controversial GE crops in a row (alfalfa, sugar beets and ethanol corn). In doing so, the agency effectively thumbed its nose at U.S. federal courts and spit in the face of consumers and farmers alike. Now, USDA has apparently decided that getting sued for ignoring U.S. environmental laws is getting to be too much of a hassle. So they've come up with a new plan: why not let Monsanto evaluate the potential harms of its new transgenic products? It'll be so much quicker this way. And save USDA a lot of money.
The two-year pilot program allowing GE developers to conduct their own environmental assessments for USDA is an "experiment" to improve its systems, says USDA. Tom Philpott calls it a craven way out.
Two weeks ago, I wrote about the American public's nearly unified demand for labeling of GMOs. Now, across the country, people are preparing to take to the streets to express their views.
The Millions Against Monsanto campaign is organizing a Rally for the Right to Know in front of the White House on Saturday, March 26. And plans for local rallies are popping up everywhere, including — last I checked — in California, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, Oregon, Tennesee and Wisconsin.

The OCLC library community
The active involvement of OCLC members has been crucial to the success of scale OCLC WorldShare Management Services. OCLC relied on two important groups to guide our efforts to build Webscale management services for libraries.
Pilot libraries
The first group was tactical in nature—pilot libraries helped to test application functionality, data migration, implementation and support. These libraries included:
- CPC (Craven, Pamlico, Carteret) Regional Libraries in North Carolina
- Idaho Commission for Libraries including Boundary County Public Library and the Cooperative Information Network (CIN)
- Orbis Cascade Alliance and Linfield College Libraries
- Pepperdine University Libraries
The Library Advisory Council:
Helene Blowers
Digital Strategy Director
Columbus Metropolitan Library
Jan Ison
Executive Director
Lincoln Trail Libraries System
Mary Piorun
Associate Director
University of Massachusetts Medical Center Library
John Teskey
Director of Libraries
University of New Brunswick
John F. Helmer
Executive Director
Orbis Cascade Alliance
Sarah McHugh
Statewide Projects Librarian
Montana State Library
Tim Rogers
Executive Director
Andrew Pace
ex officio
Contact us with your questions about OCLC WorldShare Management Services, or request a webinar for your library.
Library Advisory Council
The second group was the Library Advisory Council, comprised of leaders in the library community from OCLC member institutions. The council's purpose was to provide advice and input to OCLC on the overall direction of the project, as well as validate our strategic positioning and provide a sounding board for new ideas not yet in the development plan.
The experience provided by the wide range of library practitioners on the council helped OCLC create a strategy that meets the needs of libraries across various sectors and geographies. As members of the cooperative, their ideas and feedback were integral to the development of Webscale services.

The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) under the guidance of Placer County Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery on Wednesday gave unanimous approval to Placer County's $48 million Kings Beach Commercial Core Improvement Project. The project, which has been years in the planning and approval process, will revitalize a 1.1-mile section of State Route 28 through the heart of Kings Beach on Lake Tahoe's North Shore.
With the OK from TRPA, the project has now been approved by the Placer County Board of Supervisors, the Placer County Planning Commission and the TRPA Advisory Planning Commission. The California Department of Transportation was waiting for TRPA approval before they sign off on the project. In addition, the California Tahoe Conservancy, Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board and League to Save Lake Tahoe expressed strong support in recommending approval of the project.
"I was overjoyed by the outcome and so happy to have been able to fulfill the long delayed wishes of the North Lake Tahoe community. I give credit to the County and TRPA staff as well as to my fellow TRPA Governing Board members who recognized a great project and made it happen. It was the right time, the right place and the right direction," said Supervisor Montgomery.Although the project will enhance the look of State Route 28 through the center of Kings Beach, the real focus of the project is three-fold: improve water quality in the lake by reducing polluted runoff, improve streetscape aesthetics and improve pedestrian and bicycle mobility and safety.
The project will change the highway from a four-lane thoroughfare with traffic signals to a three-lane roadway with roundabouts. With less roadway taken by vehicle traffic, there will be more room for sidewalks and bike lanes. In addition, the project includes traffic calming devices and sidewalks in adjacent residential neighborhood streets.
The water quality aspects of the Kings Beach project will reduce the sediment from the commercial core area that flows into Lake Tahoe. Sediment is a primary cause of loss in lake clarity.
"TRPA's approval of the Kings Beach Commercial Core Project is an important step in both the revitalization of this North Shore community and the efforts to improve the clarity of Lake Tahoe," said Ken Grehm, Placer County Public Works Director. "We look forward to moving forward with the community in building the project."
The 1,800- page draft environmental impact document for the project was released by Placer County in spring of 2007. After a public comment period and multiple public meetings and workshops, the County received 500 pages of comments. Those comments and the responses were incorporated into the final document, which totaled 3,200 pages. That environmental document was certified by the TRPA Governing Board in June of 2008. Today's action was two-fold, first to approve the Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement requested by the TRPA and second, an approval of the project itself.
After all the needed approvals are obtained, the project will move into the design phase which will include permitting and right of way acquisition. Construction is scheduled to begin sometime in 2011 and take three full building seasons.

I knew Dr. Hill years ago but never heard that nickname, too funny. I think of him each March when the tourney intro shows the famed Duke Christian Laettner shot vs Kentucky and then the incredulous look on the face of Dr. Hill's son (also Thomas Hill) who was a starting guard on the team. No relation by the way to Grant Hill, who threw the pass.

Earlier today I was speaking to a publicist who is in charge of the guest list for a party during the upcoming London Collections: Men (London's first attempt at a menswear fashion week), and you would not believe some of the blagging which fashion industry 'professionals' (to use the term lightly) indulge in when they're trying to score an invite. It's toe curling, wince-inducing stuff. You get editorial assistants claiming that their editors said they could have their tickets (when, of course, the editors hadn't said that); a million variations on the old "my invite must have got lost in the post" story; people who really have no right or reason to attend (other publicists who work at rival PR firms, for example) making thinly-veiled 'threats' of 'consequences' if they aren't put on the guest list because of their tenuous connections to the advertisers who work with the company behind the event (talk about clutching at straws); and, of course, the classic "but don't you know who I am?"
Someone actually used the line "but I'm the SENIOR showroom executive (whatever that means) at XXXX," where XXXX is what you might call a B to C-list brand. Someone else (a total non-entity, I might add) without an invite actually complained that they were "better qualified" to attend the party than other people who they knew had been invited (!) before telling the publicist that she did not know how to do her job properly. This self-serving, egotistical attitude, which comes to the fore among certain fashion professionals whenever there is promise of anything 'exclusive,' is shameful. Unfortunately this industry is full of braindeads who care about nothing except blagging free things and living 'the lifestyle' on someone else's buck. Then there's the whole political aspect too: "I won't come if X is also invited" "Why did X publication get 10 invites and we only got 7" etc. I avoid 90% of fashion events because I can't bear the whole circus that surrounds them. The sucking-up, the rubber-necking, the fake smiles… it poisons what I love about fashion, so I stay away from it all.
Last night, though, I made an exception to my no-events policy and attended the press launch of PQ Eyewear, the latest project from the legendary architect and product designer Ron Arad. The chance to meet Mr Arad himself, and have a look inside his North London studio, was too much to resist. And the pleasant surprise was that the glasses (opticals and sunglasses) were genuinely amazing too.
As a long-time glasses wearer, I fully agreed with the project's conceit that there is not enough innovation or newness in the eyewear industry, something which is particularly evident when you consider that about 80% of the 'high end' glasses out there are yawn-worthy, logo-adorned frames made under license by a handful of big companies.
Arad aims to change all this with two new concepts: the 'A' frame which has an adjustable bridge for superior comfort and fit (it's amazing nobody has thought of this before), and the incredible goggle-like sunglasses in the CORBS range, which have articulated sides rather than hinges. One pair was made from a single piece of high-tech material which had been created in a 3-D printer. And the cases, transparent lozenges with a silicone rubber brush which holds the frame in place, are something else.
Seriously innovative and stylish stuff, as you would expect from Ron Arad, whose work I greatly admire. He came out with some cracking one-liners too: "my glasses are like my chairs, you can sit on them and they will not break" and "glasses without adjustable bridges make about as much sense as a belt with only one hole." There are about four models I want, the only downside being the retail prices which hover around the £500 per pair mark. Still, they are in themselves beautiful design objects, and the quality seemed to be outstanding.
I'm not sure if these slightly flat pictures really do the glasses justice. I might see if I can borrow some pairs from the PR and shoot them myself, so stay tuned.

Fenn Blog
It's Not Just Green. It's Local.
Local Power Inc. exists to empower local communities and profoundly improve their energy systems. In the past two decades, our founders created a whole new energy market - municipal aggregations, or "Community Choice Aggregations," in markets comprising 25% of U.S. power demand in order to make this profound change possible. We succeeded in creating a market; today over five percent of the U.S. population is served by CCAs - over 1000 U.S. municipalities, ranging from towns as small as pop. 50 to major cities like Chicago, Cincinatti and San Francisco, Local Power has indeed created the American "revolution in power." Building on CCA, Local Power Inc. has developed numerous authorities and strategies across multiple regulatory systems to offer American cities and towns a new alternative to monopoly power service and deregulation - a community-based energy service focused on profoundly changing your whole community's energy system in technology profile and ownership structure - first a switch to new local renewable technologies; second, a whole new utility service option that invites residents and businesses to "Own Your Power."

I don't understand what you were expecting to happen otherwise? This makes sense to me--if you want two channel analog output everything is going to have to be downmixed to 2ch, including digital outputs.
Did you look at other threads regarding the same "problem"?
It's not exactly an OS issue as different audio devices can certainly be output to at the same time. The thing is with Vista and 7, each output type is treated as a different/separate audio device. So your application would have to support outputting to two outputs simultaneously which I don't think I've seen an app do (though I imagine DJ progs might be able to?).
It is definitely possible though to output more than one at once. For example set your default device to "Speakers" (analog output) and then playback a file like an MP3 with WMP. The use another audio player (like WinAmp, MediaMonkey, etc.) to output to a specific output (like HDMI) and playback the same file, at the same time. You'll see both outputs will work from each player. The problem is getting one [software] player that will output to two or more devices at once, from the same playback material.
To do what you want it would additionally have to downmix analog output to the "Speakers" device while maintaining the original or bitstream signal for the HDMI output. So now you've got a second problem. Not only are you going to have a hard time finding the first requirement, the second one is another thing to worry about.
I mean the PS3 can do this now, but even it couldn't originally (started with fw 3.00 or something).

Eastern Christian Academy is H.S. football's first virtual powerhouse
Story Highlights
Eastern Christian Academy lacks traditional classes, but has a strong football team
David Sills IV founded program after separating from Red Lion Christian Academy
Forty-six male students are enrolled in grades 6-12; all 46 are on the football team
This story appears in the Aug. 27, 2012 issue of Sports Illustrated. Buy the digital version of the magazine here.
Under the first Friday night light of the high school football season, in a small South Carolina town known as the Peach Capital of the World, the Strom Thurmond Rebels gathered in the end zone under the pines. Strom Thurmond High was established in 1961, the year the local school system integrated, and 23 times the Rebels have brought a regional championship down the state road to their sprawling brick campus with the cannon in front. About 4,000 fans -- more than the population of Johnston, the school's town -- filled STHS Stadium at twilight and stood as the invocation was read, the national anthem played, the alma mater sung. In a scene that would unfold across the country that evening, cheerleaders formed a human tunnel on the field, and two of them hoisted a white paper banner that read GO BIG BLUE. As the Rebels broke through it, the band erupted, along with generations of alumni and their children.
Strom Thurmond is like a lot of American high schools. The Rebels' opening-night opponent, Eastern Christian Academy, is like no other: It's either a blueprint for the future or a red flag.
Eastern Christian was established six months ago, and with less than three weeks until the start of the academic school year, 54 students are enrolled in grades six through 12. Forty-six are boys, and 46 are on the football team. The staff includes four teachers, a nurse, a minister and seven football coaches. The running backs and defensive backs coach is the director of operations, the de facto principal. Trainers are contracted from the outside, but last week a teacher and a coach filled those roles. Eastern Christian draws students from Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but it does not have a permanent campus yet, with founder and financial backer David Sills IV considering three sites in Elkton, Md. At one end of the spectrum is a sparkling 141,000-square-foot office building, previously occupied by a plastics company, set amid 90 acres dotted with white-tailed deer. At the other end is a 6,000-square-foot storefront in a strip mall that includes a barbershop and a tattoo parlor.
Eastern Christian has no football facility, either, so the team lifts weights at the Elkton YMCA and practices on an adjacent, pebble-pocked field without yard lines between the goal posts. The field, bordered by a barn and a grain silo, appears to be an abandoned farm. The final preseason practice was set for the Y two days before the opener, but a summer camp needed the space, so Eastern Christian moved to a park across the nearby Delaware border. It, too, did not have yard lines. At six the next morning, the team was on a bus for Johnston. The trip took more than 12 hours, and the air-conditioning broke along the way. Eastern Christian spent the night in nearby Edgefield and arrived at the stadium 14 minutes before kickoff, behind a coach wearing a straw hat and sunglasses, and chewing what looked like a stick.
The visitors won 39-35, which is a surprise only if you judge them by convention. According to Eastern Christian's Player Profile Sheet, 14 team members have already received football scholarship offers from major colleges, with three committed to USC, two to West Virginia and others to Auburn, UConn and Syracuse. Sophomore David Sills V, the 6' 3" quarterback with the blond hair and marksman's accuracy, committed to USC when he was 13. Kenny Bigelow a 6' 3", 295-pound senior who's considered the nation's second-best defensive tackle by Rivals.com, is also ticketed for the Trojans. Says Dallas Jackson, an analyst for the high school scouting publication, which ranked Eastern Christian No. 75 in its preseason national poll, "They're doing things you just don't see."
Eastern Christian's phone number is unlisted, and its website doesn't pop up on Google. They call themselves the Honey Badgers, their logo a five-fingered paw with a cross in the middle. A patch of the logo, which will be affixed to their road jerseys, was not ready in time for the opener. Their home jerseys, which they ordered from China, also had not arrived. They will presumably wear those on Saturday, when they host Niagara Academy from Lincoln, Ont., at a Baltimore high school field that they only lined up in the last week. "We're an enigma," says Sills IV. "People will come because they want to know who we are."
Most of them were once Red Lions, before they left Red Lion Christian Academy in Bear, Del., last January. Strictly speaking, Eastern Christian is not even a school but rather a club, with members who attend an online private school called National Connections Academy. "There is a lot of confusion," says Steven Guttentag, president of Baltimore-based Connections Learning, which is the parent company of National Connections. "Eastern Christian is not a school. It's a football training program that provides a site. National Connections Academy is the school. They're our team." Connections Education counts more than 45,000 students among its accredited private and public schools. Its students include everyone from prodigies at New York City's prestigious Juilliard School of Music to Olympic hopefuls, but Eastern Christian represents the company's first foray into team sports. "It's a whole new world for us," says Guttentag. "We're going up against the establishment to get everybody comfortable with it."
While almost all National Connections students take their classes at home, those at Eastern Christian convene Monday through Friday at 8:30 a.m. Last semester their classrooms were on the second floor of a Delaware office building; they were labeled MATH, SCIENCE, HISTORY, ENGLISH and ELECTIVES and were overseen by on-site instructors National Connections calls "learning coaches." The real teachers are the virtual ones, communicating with students through Adobe software. Class ends at 2:45, and football practice starts at 3. No one is distracted by auditions for a school play or deadlines for a student newspaper.
Approximately 40 college coaches have flocked to Eastern Christian's headquarters, in the Newport, Del., office where Sills runs his commercial contracting company, Daystar Sills. Many of them arrive with scholarship offers for students who could not get to college any other way. "I dreamed of a regular high school like anybody else," says Auburn-bound senior cornerback Jahmere Irvin-Sills. "But if I weren't here, I'd be back in Wilmington running around with the knuckleheads." Irvin-Sills's mother was shot and killed, his grandfather died of a heart attack, and his five-year-old brother died in a house fire. Two years ago the Sillses became Jahmere's legal guardians; two weeks ago Jahmere legally changed his name. "We've probably got 15 Blind Sides on this team," says Honey Badgers coach Dwayne Thomas.
High school sports, and particularly basketball, have been littered in recent years with diploma mills that fit a profile similar to Eastern Christian's. They are created in a hurry, around a star athlete or team, without many other students, and they often don't survive scrutiny from school boards. But the reputation of National Connections, and the fast-growing digitalization of U.S. education, affords Eastern Christian a degree of insulation from skepticism. The growth of charter schools and homeschooling have pushed the number of students in grades K-12 taking online courses well into the hundreds of thousands. "What you're describing is definitely unusual," says Allen Ezell, a former FBI agent who spent 11 years investigating diploma mills. "But this sounds like a proctored setting, with adults watching over kids as they do their work and take their exams, and in today's world that's becoming normal."
The NCAA considers National Connections Academy "an approved nontraditional course provider" and in October 2010 published a list of National Connections courses it accepts. "There are some estimates that by 2020, about 50 percent [of high school classes] will be taken online," says Lisa Roesler, director of High School Review for the NCAA. "We know that it's growing, and we're trying to stay ahead of it." A study released by the Department of Education in 2009 stated that blended learning -- which mixes traditional classroom teaching with virtual instruction -- "had a larger advantage relative to purely face-to-face instruction or instruction conducted wholly online."
What satisfies the Department of Education, however, does not always meet the standards of college admissions departments. Despite the many coaches swarming Eastern Christian, several expressed concern about recruiting there. "To have a totally based curriculum of online classes, it's something we don't do," says an FBS head coach, whose program has not offered scholarships to Eastern Christian players. "It's tricky. They can say something fulfills an English requirement, and they're really watching movies online. We just stay away from it altogether."
National Connections has developed a variety of methods to authenticate students' work, including pop quizzes and plagiarism checks, and NCAA associate director of High School Review, Mark Hicks, says it is easier to monitor electronic schools than brick-and-mortar ones. Others, however, cast a wary eye toward Eastern Christian. The Honey Badgers scheduled nine games and are looking for two more, but at least one of their games -- a showdown against vaunted John Curtis Christian in River Ridge, La., ranked fifth nationally by Rivals and set to be televised by ESPN on Oct. 19 -- is in jeopardy because the Louisiana Athletic Association mandates that its schools play teams recognized by their respective states.
National Connections expects Eastern Christian to follow the same rules as members of the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association and applied to that governing body for "standards of competition verification." They were rejected on Aug. 8, according to a Maryland Department of Education spokesman, because of a technicality: The MPSSAA only recognizes private schools that want to play state public schools, of which there are none on the Honey Badgers' schedule. "They have a small window, or I will have to find somebody else to play," says J.T. Curtis, coach of John Curtis Christian.
Eastern Christian is reapplying to the MPSSAA this week. Two prominent high school coaches in Maryland were asked if they would have scheduled the Honey Badgers. One said his administration would balk, calling the Honey Badgers "an AAU football team." The other said he would and called them "awesome players and class people." So even their peers don't know entirely what to make of them. "If we're telling the truth, that we just want to help these kids, we're virtuous," Sills says. "If we're lying, we're the most evil people in America. So it comes down to this: Do you believe us?"

I worked at Ameriprise full-time for more than a year
Pros – Good compensation. Great coworkers. Very good manager who actually cared about his team. You can sell whatever you think is best for clients. Base salary. Leads were pretty good when I started.
Cons – Work life balance is pretty bad, late nights and long hours. Technology is terrible, so bad that its not worth complaining about, you have sales to make. The leads are now terrible, these people have been called weekly for 1.5 years by someone different every week. A few unethical Advisors and Managers.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop Hiring and shrink the dept to 150-200 Advisors.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

HARRIS DECLARES HE'S THE SOCIAL CONSERVATIVE IN THE RACE: The Rev. Mark Harris, a leading social conservative, entered the North Carolina Senate race Wednesday, setting up a potential insider/outsider GOP primary showdown next May with House Speaker Thom Tillis.
Harris, the outgoing president of the state Baptist Convention, said he would campaign as a staunch advocate for lowering taxes, reducing government, ending Obamacare and protecting gun rights, that he would back measures that he believes would improve "traditional moral values." Read more here.
GOP SENATOR SAYS McCRORY ADMINISTRATION IS BREAKING THE LAW: A high-ranking Republican state senator said Wednesday that Gov. Pat McCrory's administration is flouting the law. Sen. Bob Rucho, R-Mecklenburg, complained that McCrory hasn't named an independent Unemployment Review Board to review decisions on unemployment benefits made by the state Division of Employment Security. Rucho's remarks came during a legislative committee meeting where lawmakers were questioning Dale Folwell, the agency's head. Read more here.

Land Rover models are known for their quality and ability to survive under the most extreme conditions. Land Rover prices start at $36,350. Land Rover's Range Rover model is classified as a high-end luxury SUV and when fully equipped, carries a six-figure price tag.
Land Rover is the second-oldest four-wheel-drive automotive brand in the world after Jeep. Headquartered in Gaydon, United Kingdom, it is owned by Tata Motors, forming part of its Jaguar/Land Rover subsidiary.
The original Land Rover, launched by Rover Company in 1948, drove off the production line ready to take on some of the world's toughest terrain. Constructed of a lightweight rustproof proprietary alloy of aluminum and magnesium called Birmabright, the Land Rover's resistance to corrosion helped it gain a reputation for longevity in the toughest conditions. Six decades later, it is estimated that two-thirds of all Land Rovers are still at work -- many of them in some of the most extreme conditions and inhospitable places on earth. Today Land Rover has developed into a brand encompassing a range of four-wheel-drive models, including the Defender, Discovery, Freelander, and Range Rover.
